Subject: select_collect(): ignore dentries on shrink lists if they have positive refcounts
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f601ede8fd166f8f2c84db427b94f80f1b0cbab1;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

select_collect(): ignore dentries on shrink lists if they have positive refcounts

If all dentries we find have positive refcounts and some happen
to be on shrink lists, there's no point trying to steal them in the
select_collect2() phase - we won't be able to evict any of them.  Busy on
shrink lists is still busy...
